Encantame Towers at Playa Encanto
Encantame Towers is a work in progress. With the main tower, Velero completed, the two additional Towers Verano and Viento will be under construction throughout 2022. Please be aware that some construction noise will be present. Encantame Towers is not located in Sandy Beach, only their Sales Office.
One of the best stretches of oceanfront near Rocky Point is Playa Encanto. A few minute’s drive east of town takes you to dunes overlooking a long, rock-free stretch of coastline. You can find more remote beaches as you travel further, but Playa Encanto offers a near perfect combination of accessibility and a ‘private beach’ feel.
New at Playa Encanto is Encantame Towers. Breathtaking views can be seen at Encantame’s 3 towers, each reaching 24 stories. This makes them the tallest buildings in Sonora State.
Encantame Towers offers uniquely beautiful interiors, full oceanfront views to all units, and a wide range of amenities. 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condos are available. Full amenities will be in place at the finish of the third Tower, but most are available along with the first Tower, named Velero. Currently, guests can enjoy the large workout room above the main lobby. Also off of the main lobby is Blue Palm Cafe, a coffee bar serving real Starbucks coffee.
Large negative edge pools define the line between the Resort and Playa Encanto beach. There are group jacuzzis, as well as shallow areas for children to enjoy. At the center of the pool area is the fun swim-up bar. Santo Coyotes Restaurant offers up creative specialties from their main location in Guadalajara.
How to Get to the Encantame Towers
There are two different routes to get to the Towers.
- At the overpass coming into town on Highway 8 from the U.S., rather than going straight ahead going towards the Main Blvd. and Benito Juarez, you will take a left. The left will take you down the quiet, Caborca Highway. Follow the highway down to the railroad track, around 8 miles in and take a sharp right turn. From there, you are just a couple minutes away from the security gate at the Encantame Towers which you will easily spot in light or dark due to its winged shape and lights.
- The second way to get to the towers is going from town or the Casago office. Now, if you go into town, there are flags along the street poles that will guide you to the towers. But, if it’s your first time in town, you may still be uncertain. So, here’s what you do. Follow the flags that take you to the intersection of Benito Juarez and Blvd. Fremont/Caborca Highway. When you come to “Shrimp Park or Plaza del Camaron” on your left, turn left at the light onto Freemont Blvd. From here it is round 12 miles to Encantame Towers. Follow the road through town to where it exits the city to the east. On your right look for the sign for Playa Encanto. Turn right and follow directional signs to Encantame Towers. You’ll know you’re on the right path because a few miles in, you can actually spot the towers in the distance on the far right. You will take this route for about 8 miles until you reach the security gate of the towers.
Either route you take will lead you to the security gate. Once you pass through there, it’s a 5 mile drive on a smooth, newly paved road to the Towers.

Things To Do
Playa Encanto retains the wonder of a visit to the beach in Mexico that has sometimes been overshadowed by too many visitors. This beautiful and pristine stretch of nature regularly sees nesting sea turtles, dolphins, and a full array of wildlife.
Local activities can be arranged via concierge. The town has never had such a wide variety of quality restaurants and bistros. From fine steak houses such as Moo and Garufa Steak House, to fun and casual Margarita Mermaids and Colin’s Cantina, it is easy to enjoy old as well as new favorites. A fun night out may include stops at Banditos, Boo Bar, or popular Manny’s.
Especially along the Sandy Beach area, you will find off road vehicle rentals, ready for a trip into the dunes. The beach has all that you would expect. Playa Encanto is a bit more laid back, but jet ski and banana boat rides are available. Sunset cruises leave from the main marina, with dolphins often following along, and whales are seen in season.
For a trip into the wild, visit the Pinacate Biosphere Reserve. Just outside of Rocky Point, the Reserve presents the other worldly desert filled with dunes, cactus, lava flows, and extinct volcanos.
The Encantame Towers vs. The Encantame Resort
It’s important to understand that the Encantame Towers are just the first installment of long-term plans of the entire Encantame Resort. The proposed Encantame Resort will span the entirety of the lot from the main gate and paved road to the beach. That’s a lot of ground to cover, so naturally, it will take years to fully complete.
What’s to come? The Encantame Towers are just 1 out of 3 accommodations that will be built at Playa Encanto. So we can expect in the next few years that more luxurious homes will be available. The property will also, eventually, have lots for sale for homes to be built.
